Don't think so. Annotation 18: When a defending player chooses to resolve a strike against a particular character, the only actions that may be taken by either player until the strike dice-roll is made are the following: playing hazard cards that affect the strike, the attacker may decide to use any...

My source says: You may only influence an opponent's faction if the influencing character is at one of the sites where the faction is playable. There was edited version of MELE manual available at the net (https://councilofelrond.org/files/MELE.pdf) that was marked as: "This edition edited and...

The faction playability conditionality perhaps mimics the similar discussion about creature playability for the ARV. Creatures played as an automatic-attack (playabilty conditions) The fact that half-orc factions have italicized their first conditionals and not their second is, I believe, a good ind...

Also: When a Agent wishes to influence a faction it must be at the site the faction if playable. What about non-unique factions playable at multiple sites (i.e. Panalopy of Wings)? Does the agent need to be at any of the sites that the faction could have been played at, or at the specific site that ...

Adding to my first post: Orc-mail: drastically wrong. "Playable on a company containing only Hobbits and/or Dwarves. Target company may not be attacked by an overt minion company. If an overt minion company at the same site as the target company moves, you may replace the target company's site ...

If you reject notion that: "a character facing an attack" is compact form of "a character in company facing an attack". then indeed. I Think the notion is that a company facing an attack implies that each character in the company is facing an attack, but a character facing an at...

At least for purposes of deck construction they were always considered minions? As defined by their border color and not being considered FW heroes: MELE characters are referred to as “minions” (or minion characters) and METW characters are referred to as “heroes” (or hero characters). Minion charac...

For completeness sake, Traitor specifies an attack without specifying the number of strikes of the attack. This should probably be patched at some point. No ARV 2020 subforum yet though...

Attacks are faced by companies or (in case of attack from Hidden Knife) by agents. They are not technically faced by individual characters. I agree, but the key word is "technically." There is plenty of precedent that a character is considered to be facing an attack when his company does....

As I posted here , FW orcs and trolls still cannot take trophies under CoE Erratum #31. Under that understanding, consider this proposal superfluous. However, I still think this is a worthy amendment for when/if FW orcs and trolls are given legal provision to take trophies, as seemed to be the inten...

Recall from CoE Erratum #31 , the addition: Unless otherwise outlined below, Orc and Troll characters in play by a Fallen-wizard player are subject to the rules for Orc and Troll characters in play by a minion player, and companies containing an Orc or Troll are subject to the rules for company comp...

CRF wrote:Rules Erratum: Agent attacks against minions are always detainment.

I did not realize before, but this means that agent attacks are detainment even against Fallen Wizard Orcs and Trolls... seems not very thematic.

Am I missing any overruling for this?

Pulled from an 1999 April 17 wayback machine capture of the FAQ off of ICE's page: Q: If I have a +3 direct influence against Orcs and Orc factions, and I'm using it to control an Orc, can I use it at the same time to influence an Orc faction? A: No. It can be used for one or the other, but not both...

However, the wording "Diplomat only. Scout only." at the top of the text box may lead some to question whether or not both skills must be present in the company in order to play this card. I'm not sure what the argument against this is. "(Foo) only" cards can only be played by c...

Now I'm curious where Logain got his list. I recently found this one for the non-santioned Type 1.5 tournament at the 1999 Council of Lorien North American Championships: As some of you may know, we are currently in the process of revising MECCG, and this tournament will showcase some of the new rul...
